EPOLIS WE 200

The concrete substrate must be made of concrete of min. C20/25 grade, with a strength of at least 1,5 MPa measured by the pull-off method. The substrate must be stable, continuous, even, bonded, seasoned, with a moisture content of max. 10%. It must be clean and free of oil, grease, cement laitance and other substances that impair adhesion. The substrates should be cleaned mechanically, dust, any loose layers and sharp protruding edges should be removed. It should be properly roughened mechanically, paying particular attention to watertight and very smooth substrates. An adherent, absorbent surface with an open pore structure should be obtained. The strength of the substrate must be adapted to the service loads. Cement plasters should be consistent with CSIV class. Before laying the coating on a weaker absorbent substrate, NEXLER EPOLIS WE 100 primer should be applied.

Check the production date on the packaging before use. The product should not be incorporated beyond its shelf life. The product, once opened, should not be objectionable and should be free of any mechanical contaminations. Filler may settle at the bottom of the product container, which does not constitute a defect in the product. Mix the product thoroughly before use to achieve a homogeneous colour and ensure even distribution of the ingredients. After mixing, the product should be homogeneous and free of lumps.

Components A and B are supplied in a proper mixing ratio. Mix component A in the delivery vessel in order to homogenise and evenly distribute the mineral filler and colour. Then add the total amount of component B and mix with a mechanical stirrer at 300 - 600 rotations per minute for approximately 3 minutes. While mixing, scrape the mixture from the sides and bottom of the vessel with the mixer to ensure thorough distribution of the hardener. After mixing, pour the material into the working vessel and mix again.
If partial use is assumed, the product should be prepared maintaining the weight ratio of the components (1 part component A and 0,23 of a part component B). The permissible application time of the mixed material is from 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on the ambient temperature.

When fresh, check the consumption of the material per unit and/or dedicated area on an ongoing basis.
When impregnating mineral substrates, changes in surface colour and uneven colouring of the substrate may occur due to varying absorbency.
The bonded coating should have a uniform texture, without bulges, air bubbles, wrinkles or cracks.

Priming layer: Pour the mixture onto the prepared substrate and spread with a brush or a short-bristled roller, obtaining a thin, even layer. If the substrate is dry, the paint can be diluted with 5% of water for the first paint coat.

Coating application: Spread a thin, even coat of EPOLIS WE 200 on the primed, separated substrate using a brush or short bristle roller. Apply a minimum of two layers. 
Decorative flakes can be applied to the last freshly applied layer (unbound). Such layer should be protected after bonding with a varnish, e.g. NEXLER EPOLIS WE 300. 
Apply subsequent layers after 2 - 6 hours depending on the ambient temperature. After an interval longer than 48 hours, the cured surface must be sanded and dusted.

Making an anti-slip coating: In order to create an anti-slip coating, pour the mixture, in an amount according to the declared consumption, to the primed, separated substrate, spread and even out the layer with the roller so as to spread out completely remove the excess of the product. Backfill the fresh, still wet paint layer completely with dried quartz aggregate of grain size 0,2 - 0,8 mm or 1,0 - 1,6 mm. After the layer has set, sweep away the excess aggregate, sand the surface lightly and vacuum thoroughly to remove loose aggregate grains. Apply another coat of paint to the surface using a roller.

Before use, please read the application details in the product's Technical Data Sheet.
